My stay here was absolutely incredible. Not only was the location so convenient, I loved having the pub down stairs for snacks and recommendations whenever I needed. The room I stayed in overlooked the pubs garden and when you closed the window that thing was SOUND PROOF. I brought my dog and he was enthusiastically greeted whenever we came and went. Drinks okay, food actually very good.

We stayed for one night in four double rooms for a graduation. Check in officially 3;00pm but we were allowed the use of a room (not one of those we were staying in) from 11;00am when we arrived to change...a 3+ hour car journey in this heat would've made things look as though we'd slept in them!. The rooms were all spotless, comfortable, larger than expected & had fans to try & cool things. Staff were amazingly helpful throughout. Great location & thoroughly recommend to stay if visiting the 'Diff'
